What? Launch-day bestseller on Kindle?

This was a surprise: A Calculated Life reached the Kindle Bestseller List for Science Fiction on Amazon’s UK store, on launch day.

So was it Flukey-Tuesday, or what? I’ve been mulling this over and . . . I suspect I’ll never know the reason.

It’s been a busy few days since the book’s release and although I’m chuffed about the bestseller rating, it was actually a bigger shock when a friend texted to say ‘I’m up to Chapter 7 . . . ‘ My reaction: Hell fire, people who I know are reading the book! The next milestone will be this: when someone I don’t know is reading it . . . or, maybe, that’s already happened.

Next project: to produce the paperback version.
